Benson then motioned toward Ruben. “You too, sonny. Both of you seem up to no good."

"I haven't done anything!" Ruben weakly protested.

Benson scoffed. "You two are inseparable, so I'm sure there's some mischief afoot."

Rendered speechless, Ruben could only cast his gaze downward.

Benson's intuition was sharp, and both Klein and Klein, backed by their affluent families, had indeed been involved in questionable activities.

Seeing no way out, Ruben dropped the business card dejectedly and followed Klein out.

Benson seethed with frustration, unable to contain himself any longer.

He stood abruptly, preparing to leave.

Across the room, Mitchel mirrored Benson's movement, approaching him steadily. "I have other urgent matters to attend to, so I must bid you farewell," Mitchel announced.

Benson's demeanor shifted as he noticed the shabbily dressed Amilia trailing behind Mitchel. His initial warmth dissipated like smoke.

"Very well," he responded curtly.

Since Mitchel had rebuffed Benson's intention of matching up with Raegan moments earlier, Benson's eagerness to engage with Mitchel had noticeably waned.

Benson's protective nature extended deeply to Raegan's father, who was like a brother to him. And Raegan held a place as precious as any family member to him.

Despite connecting with Mitchel at the art exhibition, Benson found it challenging to be cordial toward Mitchel, who had been dismissive of Raegan. Ironically, Mitchel appeared oblivious, seated, and making no move to leave until now, further irritating Benson.

Initially, Benson held Mitchel in high regard for the latter's charm and substantial wealth as well as capabilities, though whispers of Mitchel's divorce had reached him.

Now, Benson had his reservation about Mitchel's private life. Amilia, the one Mitchel seemingly interested in, fell far short of Raegan's caliber.

Exiting the parking lot, Raegan spotted her driver waiting patiently outside. But as she opened the car door, a sudden wave of nausea overwhelmed her. She couldn't hold it back and hurriedly dashed back to the restroom.

After relieving her stomach, Raegan quickly freshened up. Looking into the mirror, she saw her face pale and drained from throwing up.

This pregnancy was vastly different from when Raegan carried Janey.

The sickness was severe this time, making it impossible for her to keep anything down. Constant vomiting took a toll on her body, causing significant weight loss.
